Short-Range Lense Option #2

[2MuchTurbo]

Ok so as a follow-up to my last post: http://nikonites.com/general-lenses/18949-nikon-50mm-options.html#axzz2nz0vZm34

With a D7100 and the 1.5x crop sensor...am I better off with the 50mm 1.8G or 35mm 1.8G?

Well...in my opinion, there's no reason not to get both. They both serve a different function, as far as focal distance is concerned. However, if you were only able to afford one, then I'd get the 35. Other opinions may vary.

If the lens is for shooting indoors go with the 35mm. Most rooms just don't have the room for shooting with a 50mm. If you're shooting outdoors the 50mm is fine.

^^^^ This. With the 50 on my D90 I turn into a wall ninja. Basically I slide around objects on the opposite wall trying to get my shots.
Go 35mm

If you can swing the 28mm 1.8g it is even better then the 35mm..Better for inside shots as well..Saw one used on Ebay for $500shipped...

I most often use my 35mm 1.8G. To be honest my 50mm rarely gets used but there are occasions where it comes in handy like a couple days ago in my children's gym for their concert it was perfect with no cropping needed. I have the 50mm 1.8D so bought it used and not really a big deal that it sees minimal use. I do however quite often use the 35mm and the 28mm would be fantastic!

The 35mm will serve you in more instances than the 50mm. I have both focal lengths and seldom use the 50mm now that I have the 35. I will keep the 50 because I may one day go berserk and buy a full frame camera.

I'd go with the 35. Can't go much wider and still maintain great OoF elements on a fast lens.

Here is some Oof for you on the 28mm 1.8g...

Thanks for the example! That's why I suggested the 35!

The 28mm is made for wider shots like this
